HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM -. mEXICO. ANOTHER BATTLE'. AND. ANO - THER VICTORY!! :Bysthe New Orleans boat.this -morning. we have news of. another battle, and of course, another brilliant victory.. We are indebted toour friends of the Picayune for the following]briefaccount furnished at the, moment of the departure of the mail boat: We have only time to say before the mail -leaves-that Gen. Scott encountered Santa Anna. on the.l8th of April, at Cer ra.Gordo, and entirely defeated him. We have taken five Mexican generals prison ers, (and among others La: Vega.) and six thousand soldiers. Santa Anna made. his escape on a mule. His army is completely routed.. & would all have been taken prisoners or destroyed, if we had had a sufficient force of cavalry. The"loss on both sides has been heavy. Gen. Shields-was severely., and it is fear ed. mortally wounded. Gen. Pillow was also wounded, but slightly. ,Col. Baskell's volunteers, the 1st Artil lery, the 7th Infantry, and Captain Wil liams''company. of Kentucky volunteers have suffered most. Mr.: Kendall thinks that 500 will cover the:entire.loss, but he had not been able to.obtain even a list of the officers, killed when he sent off his express. Santa Anna and Canalizo fled in the most shameful manner before the battle was lost. Gen. Scott advanced at once upon the city of Mexico. PLAN DEL Rio, April 17-11 A. M. The division of General T wiggs started two hours since, and a heavy cannonade as already. commenced 'upon this line Fronithe fartherest of the Mexican works. St intervals, too. the rattling of small arms :an be heard distinctly from the Dragoon. samp where I am writing this. IJam go ing out, with . Cols.. Duncan and Bohlan mnd Cap.

Twigs should open. he fight to-day, at-least to bring on a gen-. aral:action. and it is'therefore presumable he Mexicans have cammenced uponi him. [ write in great haste. G. W.

Great numbers- of the enemy i rere killed, while on :our side the loss was t Iso severe.: Major Sumner was shot .in be head by a musket ball-severely but ot mortally; Lieuts. Maury and Gibbs, f the Rifles, were also wounded, but not 1 everely, as was also Lieut. Jarvis of the , !d Infantry. I could not learn that any i if our officers were killed. The entire loss i n our side, in killed and wounded. is esti nated at about one hundred; but from the i ature of the ground-broken, covered ith brush and thick chapparal, and ex remely uneven--it is impossible to tell with accuracy. Nor can 1. at this time, -ive even the names of the oficers who ere immediately engaged. About 3 o'clock the enemy made a do nonstration from the fort on the neighbor og height to the one our men had captu -ed,Ias if with the intention of regaiuing it; tat it all ended in marching down the hill, >lowing a most terrific charge on their :rumpets, faring a few shots, and thean re :iring. Their apparencc, as they came iowa the slope was certainly most apo hng. The cannon on the height mean while kept up a continuous fire upon Gen. Twigg's lines,- yet doing little execution ther than ctttting down the trees and brusi. As we ret urned to camp, the fire stillcontuued-the enemy had evidently ascertained the position of the road, which had just beetn cut, wvithi acculracy, but their ball. rincippa,lly went over. Gen. Shields, ati 3-o'clock, was ordered out to support Gea. Twigs, with. three regiments of Volunteers-two from the Illinois under Cols, Baker and Barniett. '[hey will have warm workito-morrow, if the Mexicans stand up as they did to-day. There has been not a little skirmishing to-day between the forage and beef parties tent out in the rear, and the rancheros. One illinois man was killed. and one of the same regirit~ and a Tennessean wounded. -icould no: learn- their names. To-morrow the grand attack, both upon the front and rear of. the. enemy, is to be made. Gcn.

No one anticipated. when. they., arose from thiei/hard bivouack this.morn A ing. such: a complete victory. The lqss on both sides has been heavy I -how could it have been otherwise?; The rough and rocky road, cut through rugged s defiles and dense chaparal by our troops, is now lined. with our wounded. The ; Rifles, Col. Haskell's 'Tennessee volun leers, the lbtArtillery, the 7th Infantry; and Capt. William's company ofKeutuc= Iy volunteers, have perhaps suffered most. . Gen. Shields was severely, and .1 am fear-.j ful, mortally wounded while gallanmly. le -. ding his brigade to storm one of the ene- r m's farther works. Gen. Pillow was also wounded,ahoogh slightly, .while storming a fortification on. I this side commanded by La. Vega. All the field officers of Col. Hastell's regiment I were wounded at thesame time, save him-. self.. Of the Rifles, Capt. Mason has lost t a leg, Lieut. Ewell has been-badly woun- 1 ded, Lient. McLane, slightly.

The murder is said to have een' committed. on the 28th ult. On that ight a train of loaded wagons, escorted by. 00 Infantry and about the same number f horse, undes the command of Colonel litchell, of the 1st Ohio Regiment, en amped at Marin, which is about five siles from the scene of the murder. - The Counted men were composed of U. S. )ragoons and 'Texas Rangers, under the ommand of Capt Graham, of the 2d )ragoons. buspicion rests upon some art of his corps, though no clue has 'at yet een found to discover the guilty. The icers in command-gentlemen, and rigid isciplinarians-are using every means in heir power to investigate the matter. God. 'aylor has got his steam up no the sub ct, and is determined to have hung every no who it can be proved has taken part i the murder., The town where .these ion were killed is but a- few miles from te place where 'the large train was :ap red and so many wagoners massacred a the 22d of February.- Some 15 'or 20 f the wagoners who escaped from that sassacre came up in the last train ; yet here is no evidence that they were enga ,ed in the Gualopa murder. I-passed over the place of the. massacre f the 22d February a few days ago, and be scene is truly the. most. .horrid and ovolting that I ever witnessed.- The re. mains of the murdered men, yet unburied,. tripped of every partical of clothing,- lay spun the plains, their flesh devoured by lexican wolves and buzzards, and their ones bleaching in the sun. The attack ras made upon the escort, who were in be advance, by a large body of Lancers. [he escort, 40 mnen, under Lient. Bar, our of the .Kentueky Legion, were all sken prisoners, and are now in possession f Urren. The Lancers charged down the rain, and-lanced without mercy the wa oners as they ran for their lives to the haparal. More than three-fourths of them, is thought, were killed--and their bodies hockingly mutilated and disfigured. hose who passed the scene a few days fter, say that some had their hearts' cut ut and suspended upon the bushes, or trust into their mouths; the eyes of other rere dug from their sockets, -and inserted, a wounds made it other parts of their bo' ies, and other mutilations weresperform d.tbat.'ivtild make eves a;forthAineti an; "'pge lphi.A look j lis e'rcomi enct.
